Learning outcomes
|
The aim of medical chemistry is to explain the principles of biophysical, inorganic, bioinorganic, organic and bioorganic chemistry required for the study and understanding of biochemistry. Students will acquire the basics of chemical reasoning and imagination, such as the concepts of molecular shape, intermolecular forces, equilibrium, energy transfer, structure-activity relationships, as well as thorough knowledge of molecules present in biological systems. From the practical point of view, students will master simple calculations in stoichiometry, acid-base and oxidation-reduction equilibria, and energy changes in the course of biochemical reactions.
The student will be able to evaluate how basic types of inorganic and organic compounds react either with each other or with other biological macromolecules, to predict whether the given compound will/will not adversely affect living systems, and estimate the usefulness of the compound for modulation of metabolic pathways in human body.
